A berry sweet message from a Walmart shopper:
"I recently bought your strawberry because of the special price. I didn’t have high expectations because it travels so far to Montréal. I have to send you a thumbs up. Wow the taste/smell of your strawberry is outrageous. I loved it. It was the first time in my life that I tasted an exported strawberry that was really sweet and tasteful!"
